The long shadow in front of the couple walking on the beach at sunset, is the sole detail which gives this painting its narrative, and direction.

I came across a new shade by Williamsburg ― Payne’s Gray (violet) ― I was so taken with it that I only wanted to mix white into it, and nothing else. This is my first monochrome painting. The second monochrome painting is on the right (of the same place).Thacher island is located in Gloucester MA, it is a tiny island with two lighthouses, and as such, it is dramatic enough, it doesn't need too many colors, and lends itself beautifully to monochrome paiting.
